Keep in mind that investing involves risk. The value of your investment will fluctuate over time, and you may gain or lose money.
1. Applies to online U.S. equity trades, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and options. $0 commission does not apply to customers designated by Fidelity as a Professional Equity Trader who are subject to an equity commission charge of $0.001 per share rounded up to the nearest $0.01 on a per order basis. Online option trades are subject to a $0.65 per contract fee, except for accounts designated as a Professional Options Trader under exchange rules, which are subject to an additional $0.50 per contract fee. Certain proprietary exchange options are subject to additional fees. For complete details on pricing please see here. A limited number of ETFs are subject to a transaction-based service fee of $100. See full list of ETFs subject to this service fee here. There is an Options Regulatory Fee that applies to both option buy and sell transactions. The fee is subject to change. Other exclusions and conditions may apply. Employee equity compensation transactions and accounts managed by advisors or intermediaries through Fidelity Institutional are subject to different commission schedules.
Options trading entails significant risk and is not appropriate for all investors. Certain complex options strategies carry additional risk. Before trading options, please read Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options. Supporting documentation for any claims, if applicable, will be furnished upon request.
2. No account or subscription fees, applies to retail brokerage accounts only. Expenses charged by investments (e.g., funds, managed accounts, and certain HSAs) and commissions, interest charges, or other expenses for transactions may still apply. See Fidelity.com/commissions for further details. ETFs are subject to market fluctuation and the risks of their underlying investments. ETFs are subject to management fees and other expenses.
3. You could lose money by investing in a money market fund. An investment in a money market fund is not a bank account and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Before investing, always read a money market fund’s prospectus for policies specific to that fund.
4. For the purposes of FDIC insurance coverage limits, all depository assets of the account holder at the institution issuing the CD will generally be counted toward the aggregate limit (usually $250,000) for each applicable category of account. FDIC insurance does not cover market losses. All the new-issue brokered CDs Fidelity offers are FDIC insured. In some cases, CDs may be purchased on the secondary market at a price that reflects a premium to their principal value. This premium is ineligible for FDIC insurance. For details on FDIC insurance limits, visit FDIC.gov.
5. Fidelity commissioned Corporate Insight to study bond pricing, available online, for self-directed retail investors from three brokers (Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, and Wells Fargo) that offer corporate and municipal bonds for comparison to Fidelity's standard online pricing. The study compared online bond prices for more than 37,000 municipal and corporate inventory matches from June 4 through July 10, 2024. It compared municipal and corporate inventories offered online in varying quantities. The study found that, on average, the three online bond brokers were asking $12.95 more per bond. Corporate Insight determined the average price differential by calculating the difference between the prices of matching corporate and municipal bond inventory at Fidelity, including Fidelity's $1 per bond mark-up for online trades vs. the prices offered online for the same bonds from the three brokers, then averaging the differences of the financial services firms. The analysis included investment grade corporate and municipal bonds only.
Minimum markup or markdown of $19.95 applies if traded with a Fidelity representative. For U.S. Treasury purchases traded with a Fidelity representative, a flat charge of $19.95 per trade applies. A $250 maximum applies to all trades, reduced to a $50 maximum for bonds maturing in one year or less. Rates are for U.S. dollar-denominated bonds; additional fees and minimums apply for non-dollar bond trades. Other conditions may apply; see Fidelity.com/commissions for details. Please note that markups and markdowns may affect the total cost of the transaction and the total, or "effective," yield of your investment. The offering broker, which may be our affiliate, National Financial Services LLC, may separately mark up or mark down the price of the security and may realize a trading profit or loss on the transaction.
6. Fidelity makes new-issue CDs available without a separate transaction fee. Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC and National Financial Services LLC receive compensation for participating in the offering as a selling group member or underwriter.

10. Spot crypto ETPs are for investors with a high risk tolerance and invest in a single cryptocurrency, which are highly volatile and could become illiquid. Spot crypto ETPs are not investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) nor are they commodity pools under the Commodity Exchange Act of 1936 (the “CEA”). As a result, shareholders of spot crypto ETPs do not have the protections associated with ownership of shares in a registered investment company nor are shareholders afforded the protections of investing in an CEA-regulated instrument or commodity pool.
Investing involves risk, including risk of total loss. Crypto as an asset class is highly volatile, can become illiquid at any time, and is for investors with a high risk tolerance. Crypto may also be more susceptible to market manipulation than securities. Crypto is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. Investors in crypto do not benefit from the same regulatory protections applicable to registered securities. Neither FBS nor NFS offer a direct investment in crypto nor provide trading or custody services for such assets.
Investing in bonds involves risk, including interest rate risk, inflation risk, credit and default risk, call risk, and liquidity risk.
ETFs are subject to market fluctuation and the risks of their underlying investments. ETFs are subject to management fees and other expenses.

Stock markets are volatile and can fluctuate significantly in response to company, industry, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Investing in stock involves risks, including the loss of principal.
Diversification and asset allocation do not ensure a profit or guarantee against loss.
System availability and response times may be subject to market conditions.
Before investing in any mutual fund or exchange-traded fund, you should consider its investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact Fidelity for a prospectus, an offering circular, or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.
